1. Israel officials are like kids collecting autographs!
Mow   (01.21.10)
This reminds me the failed previous prime minister Olmert hovering around Bashar Al Assad in Paris las year, You guys are not doing a favor to your country. Iranian rep was just been polite but Israeli wanna twist the truth around and score point of hand shake. what a shame

rashid ,   palistinian   (01.21.10)

ghostq   (01.21.10)
you use it wildly in the sentense.
5. Very sad for a good Iranian
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.21.10)
This story underlies the 'political' hostage taking, of many Iranians by a brutal regime. I only hope that the Iranian official involved in this episode doesn't full victim to a subsequent government enquiry. To any decent Iranians reading this comment...Shalom, (Peace) I am a right wing Jewish settler that understands the genuine plight of many of your countrymen wishing to restore Iran to Persia!
6. JUST LIKE THE DENIED THAT THERE WERE ANY GAYS IN IRAN
zionist forever   (01.21.10)
7. wow, who would have seen that denial coming?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.21.10)
8. The Denied Handshake {sounds like a mystery novel}
eddie - Haifa ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.21.10)
The Iranian leadership also denies the Holocaust (where 6mill Jews & 5mill non-Jews were systematically murdered. Ugh, where'd they go?), so why should we get so excited about them denying another aspect of reality (a handshake); delusional schizophrenia is rampant when inhaling too much oil refinery fumes.
9. Their nuclear sites...
Mike M. ,   Seattle Wa.   (01.21.10)
will look good ruins Not only will I be shaking hands, I'll also be passing out candy and sweets.
10. Iran would have been happy if it's tourism minister killed
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.21.10)
the Israeli tourism minister, but but shake hands, why that has to be a lie, no iranian could ever be polite to a Jew. The iranians are sick people and the ultra religious are near death.
11. #1 - Despite hospitality, there is lots of warmth for IL
William ,   Israel   (01.21.10)
Almost all Persians I speak to, in Iran, in the Gulf, and in the US, really do have an affection for Israel. Only a handful of radical nuts mimic the President's tirade. Besides that fact which keeps being sidelined for other agendas, it is absolutely true that Persian hospitality is quite warm, upfront, whether or not they will knife you when you turn your back. So your post is partly correct.
12. The laziness of Islamist propaganda
William ,   Israel   (01.21.10)
Either the Islamists are getting lazy in trying to deny facts that are blatantly obvious, or their audience has reached a new level of stupidity. Could it be both? Atleast Saddam's Information Minister did his best (still not good enough) to deny US forces entering Baghdad, even asking to position cameras away from the US tanks in the background. The Mullahs and their supporters just make up crap and expect people to believe - they deny something happened (depsite a photo existing of the fact) and they insist a damn was opened to flood Gaza even though the damn doesn't exist. But, is that really so hard to believe when this regime arrested squirrels and pigeons for being "Mossad spies" and blamed Israel for the high price of IRANIAN tomatoes? The President of Iran better come up with a better story. He needs one to explain why Iran faces massive unemployment, and he's worth more than $150m.

You forgot white phosphorous.
14. and
observer   (01.21.10)
An Internet deal between Israel and Iran. Tehran`s District Chamber of Commerce bought 70 trade and content systems to build websites, developed by the Israeli group Daronet.
15. #13 more lies about white phosphorus ....how come you don't
rachel ,   usa   (01.21.10)
mention the real white phosphorus that was sent into the western Negev by those criminal arabs ...arrete ton char , you can fool some of the people all of the time , and all of the people some of the time , but you can't fool all of the people all of the time....Time is on our side ....Its always been .....history will not be kind to people like you , just like the nazis .Mr politically correct .....you resist nothing ....don't insult the courageous resistance fighters of world war II
16. climbing back onto the chair Rashid, as usual.....
er der   (01.22.10)
17. Israel does not need Iran never did RIGHT
M. S. ,   mpls america   (01.22.10)
I realize all the efforts by the Leftist press to incite Israel about Iran serves no useful purpose but some day those that try to force Iran up on Israel may pay dearly for it you may have the advantage now but things may happen to change that that may spell doom to those Lefists pushing Iran up on Israel RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.
